Those beautiful stained glass windows would've looked so much better in color. I don't of anybody in my camera club that think that stained glass windows look better in monochrome
Nice but nicer in color

The intent of this shot was to convey a mood, not highlight the beauty of the windows - hence the monochrome treatment.

I like it. It is also nice in color, I’m sure, but then the eye would go to the windows rather than the person.

Beautiful photograph Sue and it certainly works well for me. I agree with the black and white theme.

Great story shot! Who is he, what led him here, what is he thinking, what will he do next? Well done Sue!

I think the mood would be enhanced in color - something like Norman Rockwell did he was able to project different moods in color

Not exactly "alone in the sanctuary"; you were there as well and I am sure he was aware of that as well. The photograph is excellent and in this case B&W is the best choice.

Confession time! This was taken this past Saturday before a concert at our church - the young man just happened to be sitting at the back of the room and I caught him while checking out my settings. So much for an interesting back story - sorry!!

Not a problem for me Sue. Aren't many great photographs taken from some spur of the moment sighting that we think will be a great photograph?

It's interesting how editing can make an image seem to be something it isn't. I took the following shot several years ago at the Wall of Remembrance in Shanksville, PA. It is very poignant and emotional but the actual back story is that it was my granddaughter peering through a crack in the wall to see what was on the other side!
